Hello could you please help me?
My PC (W98SE)freezes when browsing. I use Spybot and did
not find trojans, hosts or viruses.
What to do?

IE freezes are often caused by buggy video drivers. You probably need new
video drivers. Check the site for your video board manufacturer. Meanwhile
you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
